Friday Mad Science: Eddie Swears He Wasn't Cheating!

Not much going in Friday Mad Science this week, just for the simple fact that I’ve had barely any time to think, much less write about the events of the world.  That said, a couple of things caught my eye:

Eddie George inspired me to take
up yoga.  He is a famously
accomplished practitioner.

Mitt Romney seems to be having problems in the same areas of the country where President Obama had problems last election.  Which is to say that the urban, educated, affluent voter—who are the core of the traditional wing of the G.O.P.—are voting for Mitt, and indeed, we’ve seen the Party establishment following suit, backing him with ever more influential endorsements.  However, the rural, dumbass, nativist wing of the party hates him with a passion, and they ain’t votin’ for him for nothin’.

So.  I’m pleased to see that the wingnut wing of the party is losing the fight for delegates.  But I’m discouraged long-term to see that there’re so many wingnuts in the party.

Also from Slate.com: I don’t care if you’re supposed to drink most craft beers warm.  I still like mine cold.  In that respect, at least, I am still a good American.

Oh Great Football Gods, we beseech thee...  Take Peyton Manning to the JETS!

Manning and Rex Ryan on the same team?  In the New York media market?  Yes!  Please!


Finally, my personal sports hero, former Tennessee Titans Running Back Eddie George, was caught out with what can only be described as a super-hot lady pro-golfer.  She received a DUI.  He wasn’t driving and wasn’t charged.

Eddie insists that he wasn’t cheating on his wife.   Personally, I prefer to remember the happier times.
